Ethical Trading

 

Our Code of Conduct sets out the core principles that our suppliers must follow to ensure that our products are made in safe working conditions and the people that make them are treated fairly and paid a fair wage, wherever they are based in the world.

 

We are proud to be members of the EIT Initiative, which is a ground breaking alliance of retailers, suppliers, trade unions and voluntary organisations. We all work together to improve the working lives of people all over the world.

 

Our Code of Conduct states:

We recognise that we have a responisibility to act ethically from wherever we source in the world.

These include Garments from Bangladesh & India, Textile from China & India, furniture from Vietnam & India, Foods from India & China, Furniture & Home Decor from India, China & Thailand.
